    Battle at Harkon Manor

    Poor (or lucky) Alice having found Lurik aroused and in nothing but a loin cloth going through his morning martial/prayer/spell-memorization ritual preparation moves on to rouse the other less disciplined members of the defensive company. Lurik finishes not long after and one Prestidigitation...

    So I have the cure scroll and creation scrolls, Lora has rainbow pattern and regroup, and lets say Trinham takes the Color spray with Claude the hopefully mounted paladin taking the heal mount?

    are we meant to be able to shoot and attack through the barricades? The way I read it, I'm behind the center 10' wall which gives me total cover from the elves by hiding them from me. and can I assume that they handed out Light crossbows? Change of plan, I use the creation scroll to create...

    Again why I asked for a map key, I'm still too new to this group to figure these things out for myself when people don't specifically state that their post isn't in response to the previous post. When I had the idea to use the barrier for the archers, I never had any intention of the swordsmen...

    then might I ask who the L represents? I shouldn't worry about the strategy you proposed for my group? I don't know what barriers you are erecting, I'm planning on the creation scroll, but that only gives us about 20ft (4 squares) of barrier, enough for me and a small number of crossbowman

    given the massive size of the OOC strategy posts so far, I thought I'd do mine here. Not sure what FM means by a shell, and my barricade won't be maneuverable so I'm not getting references to that. a key for FM's map would help, unless you have Marko using a multiply spell with 12 clones of...

    I can't find where but it sure seems to me like HM has stated at some point that he's at least keeping things low magic. He's using a custom XP system, and the DMG suggested wealth per level is partly linked to using their stats, their xp system and such, so if he wants to balance us otherwise...

    I won't say I like or understand the rules, if-y on both, but I can't think of a better way.

    Also I want to address this caring issue, when Lurik doesn't "care" it refers to the social interactions, the hubris of other characters, that sort of stuff. Lurik does care about life, as that is part of the magical force of the universe, and logically understands the value of being able to...

    Truthfully I like the idea of trying to survive this fight, we have a fair amount of might in the levels of the others, and with the cover (19AC) and other spells (bless+Magic weapon+PBS=Longbow +4 1d8+2) I think I can do well. Also the more i think about it, if I were to replace the armor...

    Battle at Harkon Manor

    The planning apparently finished for the evening, Lurik excuses himself and retires to bed. He goes through his nightly routines, going over his spells, making little notes of things he's thought about through the day, a little stretching and finally sorting through spell components and focuses...

    Okay, I'm going to put this all here since it's all OOC. For the battle tomorrow I prepare WizL1 Mage Armor ClL0 2xcreate water (most likely to sacrifice as cure minor to save people dying) ClL1 Bless, Magic Weapon My strategy The creation spell will last 8 hours so I will cast that as...

    Empathy is Charisma, IMO, Lurik is not strong in such We have both created "know it all" characters with high opinions of themselves, there is going to be friction. And Marko, aren't you supposed to be the meat shield, not cowering behind the barrier like myself. You are supposed to give me...

    Lurik quickly puts down the idea of using that scroll for water, That particular spell won't create water, only nonliving vegetable matter, I could slightly decrease the thickness of the wall and make the forward surface hemp cloth we could soak with water and reapply as needed. I was planning...

    I realize I'm finagling big time on the idea that I've heard about Lora making herself a bigger target through the grapevine, but I think it works with the rising competition between our personalities, Lora, intelligent, bossy and hot headed, and Lurik, intelligent and wise, cool, and largely...

    A small amount of satisfaction leaks past lurik's defenses, at least to get in though not back out, that he has managed to prompt a rise from the little Lady Lord. I counter that you have no proof they will use flaming arrows other than the Haughty idea that if you would they certainly will...

    Battle at Harkon Manor

    Strategic Fantasy Lurik merely nods in response to Claude's introduction as the diminutive Lora begins her usual tirade of fantasy. A mixture of a smile and a groan occupy the mind of the dual caster as she goes on about all the accomodations she wishes to be given. Never even in the...
